For marine platforms, assessing the structural resilience in a corroded condition is vital for both design and maintenance practices. With the development of computational and experimental methods for structural analysis, the accuracy of the structural response prediction relies on a better understanding of the material degradation process. However, a realistic estimate of corrosion is inherent...

This paper studies the corrosion behavior of B10 copper-nickel alloy in marine environment. Accelerated degradation test under marine environmental conditions was designed and performed based on the accelerated testing principle and the corrosion degradation mechanism. With the prolongation of marine corrosion time, the thickness of Cu₂O film increased gradually. Its corrosion product was Cu₂(O...

A Blast furnace is an investment in the future. It is necessary that there is the proper dimensioning of all the equipment, systems and components as well as incorporation of technologies which assure the desired production and quality so that improved performance of the blast furnace can be achieved. Gas is one of the major resources of nature. Gas distribution across any part is processed by ...

Even though steel bar is a conventional reinforcement in soil stabilization systems, the problem of corrosion of steel may lead to vast damages especially in aggressive environments. In the past decades, Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials have offered an effective solution to overcome the corrosion problem. Despite numerous bond stress-displacement models for reinforcements in concrete, t...

The filling of strand corrosion products during concrete crack propagation is investigated experimentally in the present paper. The effects of stirrups on the filling of corrosion products and concrete cracking are clarified. A prediction model of crack width is developed incorporating the filling proportion of corrosion products and the twisting shape of the strand. Experimental data on cracki...

millions of dollars are being spent worldwide on the repair and maintenance of sewer networks and wastewater treatment plants every year. the production and emission of hydrogen sulfide has been identified as a major cause of corrosion and odor problems in sewer networks. prediction of hydrogen sulfide production in the sewer system helps the engineers and manager to obtain a proper strategy fo...

The literature dealing with the electrochemical corrosion of copper and possibility of its prevention using inhibitors is examined. Inorganic compounds are investigated as well, but organic compounds and their derivatives in much greater numbers. Researches are directed to influence of compounds structure, concentration, method of application as well as media that inhibitor is used in on inhibi...
